Located along the tranquil shorelines of the Long Island Sound, New Rochelle, New York, offers anglers a refreshing retreat from urban bustle. Sound Bound Charters taps into this rich marine environment with its standout full-day bottom fishing excursion aboard the 120-foot Sound Bound Princess. Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., this trip centers on hooking prized species like Porgy and Sea Bass—two of the Sound’s most sought-after game fish.
What sets this outing apart is its embrace of all skill levels. From first-timers to veteran fishers, everyone gets a fair shot at reeling in robust Porgy, known for their feisty fight and firm flesh, as well as savory Sea Bass, whose numbers have been steadily increasing due to local conservation efforts. The charters navigate to prime fishing spots—rockpiles, wreck sites, and complex bottom structures—where these species congregate, providing steady action throughout the day.
Departing from Neptune Park at 78 Fort Slocum Road in New Rochelle, the boat offers a full galley onboard, or guests can bring their own food and beverages, including alcohol. This flexibility, combined with family-friendly rates ($80 for adults, $55 for children under 12), makes Sound Bound Charters a reliable choice for groups and families seeking quality time on the water.
